Nice ride! With that powertrain warranty you could run any reputable 30wt and be just fine. The pennzoil you listed will be a good choice or anything from M1 in the 30wt flavor
Help Me Decide on Oil for new 2024 Elantra N

Hyundai dealers stock that?
That surprises me since it’s not an ILSAC GF-6 0W-30, which is what they call for in the manual.
But then, they also “recommend” Quaker State, which doesn’t make an ILSAC GF-6 0W-30 (they only have the Euro LX, which is the same oil as the Pennzoil Euro LX (which is ACEA C2/C3).
And the MDS I read said it’s API-SN. Which, wouldn’t that still be a high Ca detergent pack?
HPL Super Car 0w30. 3.541 HTHS, and if their 0w20 can stand up to my…. Lack of mechanical sympathy their 0w30 will have no problem!
High SAPS
You would enjoy a talk with Dave at HPL. He could help your decision, even if it doesn't end up with them.
He has a profile here?
he does--he's "High Performance Lubricants"
I find it curious that there is so much hair-splitting over what oil is best for an engine like this. What's so special about it? Why would the Elantra N require different oil than say then the Civic R engine? Seems to me, there is minimal difference, and picking an oil is much do do about nothing.

The HPL Euro No-VII 5w-30 would meet the HTHS of 3.5.But anyway, the car will be driven hard on backroads and mountain roads regularly, and has 276 HP/289 FT-LBS (and I’ve read that that is a conservative rating, because the car actually has been dyno’d to produce those numbers at the wheels, so it’s actually very conservatively rated from the factory), so I’m thinking something with at least 3.5 HTHS.
So that rules out the owners manual suggestion of an ILSAC 0W-30. So if you’re here to tell me to “just follow the manual”, don’t waste your breath!
The HPL euro passenger car in 0w-30 also hits the HTHS 3.5 mark.
You forget what forum you’re on? Hair splitting is what we do!
Wonder if that’s the same add pack as the standard HPL Euro, which shows >1700ppm Ca in a VOA from Dec. 2023. From what I’ve heard, 1700ppm Ca is a bit high for a smaller TGDI engine (LSPI concerns).
I dunno. It’s been debated on here. Maybe it would make a difference, maybe not.
After all, M1 ESP 0W-30 has that much Ca and it is MB 229.52 approved, which contains the Sequence IX LSPI test.

Good idea to find a 0/5w30 SP instead.
Both the Amsoil AZO 0w30 Signature Series and the Amsoil EOT Euro 0w30, are both SP. The Signature Series is Dexos 1 / Gen 3 and the Euro is C3.
Buy em' either thru Pablo or online at Amsoil's website. I have 13 quarts of 0w30 Euro to move. Only a year-old

Yeah... 2023
It has a 10-year warranty on the engine and transmission.
I would consider that when buying any fluids.
Not so much the viscosity but the receipt and Name Brand.
Also if you do your own Maintenance keep a log.
And if any problems do crop up.. don't give out any unnecessary info such as pushing it hard, track days etc.
"I was driving it and 'this happened'"
Some dealers are ok and some are terrible.

Dare I admit to running 0w20 in my 2024 Type R and ran 0w20 in my M139 AMG Cla 45.
That's fine when its a mall transport cruiser. If you ran that for a track day.. well.. its your car.
